In 1991 the band was completed by the guitarist Lars Lundevall. The new line-up recorded these albums:
Varme mennesker (Warm People) (1991), Neste sommer (Next summer) (1993), Mere (More) (1994), Sent og tidlig (Late and early) (1995), Stakkars (Miserable) (1997), Kast alle papirene (Throw away all the paper) (1999) and Midt i begynnelsen (In the middle of the beginning) (2002). Their debut LP "Suser avgårde" (1986), is regarded as one of their most popular records. The lyrics are very popular because they are very naïve & philosophic. They released their final record in 2002; "Midt i begynnelsen". In 2005, they released a compilation which is named "Festen er ikke over... det er kake igjen." ("The party ain't over... There's more cake left"). New album out now: "Trist å være glad" 2011.
Klok
deLillos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dere ser lykkelige ut men skinnet bedrar
For han har en hemmelighet
Og det du ikke vet det skal han plage deg med
For han har fått en ny
Og hun er mye yngre enn deg
Men ikke halvparten så
Og nå føler han endelig at han er en mann
Tiden går og du forstår
At alle vet det som du ikke trodde noe på
Og du ser at du er
Fri til å gå til å forlate han du trodde var nær
For han har fått en ny
Og hun er mye yngre enn deg
Men ikke halvparten så
Morsom og klok og spydig og interessant
Og nå føler han endelig at han er en mann
For han har fått en ny
Og hun er mye yngre enn deg
Men ikke halvparten så
Ærlig og tøff og slitsom og intolerant
Ja hun er mye yngre enn deg
Men ikke halvparten så
Klok og interessant
Og nå føler han endelig at han er en mann
The lyrics of deLillos's song Klok talks about a man who appears to be happy in his relationship with his partner, but in reality, he has a secret. He has started a new relationship with a younger woman who he perceives to be more interesting, witty, and smart than his current partner. He feels like a real man being with her, and this realization makes him blind to the fact that he is causing pain to his partner.
As time goes by, the truth becomes exposed, and the partner realizes that she is free to leave the relationship that she thought was close. The lyrics deal with themes of betrayal, infidelity, and dishonesty. It highlights how one person's actions can affect not only their partner but also those around them.
The song's melody is upbeat and catchy, which creates an ironic contrast with the sad and heartbreaking lyrics. It speaks to how often in life, we can hide behind the 'happy' facade while the truth is far from it. The song Klok is a reflection of the harsh realities of life, and how our choices can lead us down a path of destruction.

Der er han og der er du
There he is and there you are
Dere ser lykkelige ut men skinnet bedrar
You both look happy but appearances are deceiving
For han har en hemmelighet
Because he has a secret
Og det du ikke vet det skal han plage deg med

And she is much younger than you
Men ikke halvparten så
But not half as much
